Anyone out there running a honda 2000 genny on propane? If so what are your likes and dislikes and how does it compare db wise to gas?
I converted my EU2000i to tri-fuel about 6 years ago and it has run for scores of hours on propane. I cannot tell any difference at all in the sound level or power output.
What I like most is that I can choose to run on whatever fuel is the most convenient at the time, which depends upon where I am going and how long I plan to be thereā¦
- Most of the time I run the genny on propane, although I
always keep the internal gas tank full (with Sta-Bil in the gas)
- During extended boon docking trips in the dessert I use an external 6-gal extended run gasoline tank.
- I have a natural gas hookup at my house in the event we ever have a power outage. I have tested it a few times (works just fine), but have never actually
needed it.
I also like that I have never once had to clean my carburetor.
In terms of dislikes⦠Hmmm, it's hard to think of any. I do wish that I didn't have to adjust the demand regulator when switching between LPG and natural gas. Of course, that takes all of about 20 seconds :B

Cheers,
